Today my iPad started asking me to use my location in everything I click on. Never did this before.
My laptop and tablet has been doing this also for about a week.Today my iPad started asking me to use my location in everything I click on. Never did this before.
Would agree.....but..... we who leave and use our GPS (location) on our phones and have navigation built into our vehicles infotainment systems are already giving our location away.There is nothing good about any of our "Devises" asking for location info. I always decline - now. I accepted once and got bombarded with (well, a lot of) adds based on somewhat local vendors and my past sites visited (Walmart, Target..... and on and on
DW and two of my adult sons (why give VZ any more $$$) are still on my legacy plan. As long as the boys pay me $10/month I'm good with that. But the phones are listening. When they are talking about 'pick a subject that I have absolutely no involvement or interest in' and it is only a conversation, within an hour I start getting email solicitations for related products. Unreal.P.S. Speaking of technology, it drives me bat crap crazy everytime my wife uses google voice, or my son uses Alexa, to do things like find directions, change channels, etc..
Yeah, the AI thing using peoples voices is going to be an issue, but I do use Google voice sometimes, and we have an Alexa in the house. My one grandson can't get enough of it, as they don't have one.P.S. Speaking of technology, it drives me bat crap crazy everytime my wife uses google voice, or my son uses Alexa, to do things like find directions, change channels, etc.. I always say....let your fingers do the talking! Caveat: unless behind the wheel of a moving vehicle, then Im cool with it for sure!
I'm not sure what is being reported here.Today my iPad started asking me to use my location in everything I click on. Never did this before.
I am running on a MacBook with Safari. If I turn on location services for Safari then this site will ask me every time I select another post if I want to share my location. I have a choice of yes, no and remember my answer (yes or no) for 1 day.I believe it is this website. It is the only website that I am having issues with. I have this issue on my Windows laptop and my Android tablet. I am using DuckDuckGo on my laptop and Brave on my tablet.
Edit: I just logged into IRV2 and I had the same issue.
I toggled my location services off and on a few times and got consistent results. No questions with location services turned off, always got asked if I turned them on.Was never asked for location today. Maybe it was a glitch or set in error??
